The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[Moheezy]

• First loss was the first game of the season against the Bucks and was a very close game.
• Second loss was to the Celtics with No Embiid and no Maxey which was also very close. (they are 1-1 outside of that game)
• Pels loss: No Embiid
• Wolves loss: Marcus Morris was our starting Center

Not really too concerned about articles like this with cherry picked stats. We go as far as Embiid and Maxey can take us and the main factor for playoff success will be Embiid's health.

We are still a tier below Boston and I think we are closer to the Bucks than initially thought.

Who let their kid pose for this though?

"They're doing a nice article on athletes and their families for SI, how would you like your child to pose for the cover?"

White people have decided that they can only be athletic, if they are playing Tight End, Defensive End, or Short Stop.

Kind of an odd thing to mention by Monty.

Agreed.

Also, it's fair to want to figure this out, but come on, do a better job figuring things out lol.

On that note, what direction should the Pistons take? Embrace the tank and collect more future assets or keep your vets and trade for more vets? It seems like they're still trying to compete but are failing miserably.

Sell Bogdanovic, Burks and Monte Morris.

Bench Hayes for good, move Cade to SG. Start Ivey or Sasser next to him.

The Kawhi/PG/Shai trade looking like a win-win

Agreed with the selling of the vets. but considering the vets are their only shooters, it's a tough sell for coach.

An Ivey, Cade, and Thompson doesn't work well spacing wise. Ivey is the odd man out and maybe get a better fitting piece there.

I'd probably make Ivey the bucket getter off the bench and start Sasser. Make Amen my nominal PF with Livers (shooter) at SF. Love Stewart, but he can backup Duren.

Who’s the last American white NBA player to make an all-star game? Is it Kevin Love?

It ain't perfect, but you gotta work with what you got.

Think so. But Chet might **** around and make it this season with some luck.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Stewart deserves to be a fun role player on a contending squad that might cost a team a playoff series when he goes ballistic and attacks another player.

Every day it's something new with these kids, whole generation moving sloppy

Dudes been wildin since the beginning of pro sports with the ho's and knocking em up... Cant "this generation" this topic, only thing new is the internet to put em on blast

Article on The Athletic had Boston/Dallas/OKC eyeing Beef Stewart.

Don’t really see how the Cs can make it work. Dallas either.
